Michael tells us all about volcanic lava, demonstrated by blended plasticine<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

Diarmuid reported on an earthquake interviewing survivor Finlay.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

Chloe showed us her earthquake proof house. It rests upon rubber shock absorbers to protect the home from the impact.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

Jake, Lauren, Annmarie, Cameron and Emily all made keys to mark on their world maps where natural disasters have occurred.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a>

Grace wrote a letter about surviving an earthquake in Oceania, Kelsey wrote to her parents from their basement after a tornado had struck and Lewis wrote to his Dad after being in an earthquake in Belgium.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jack and Milly about to show what their volcano can do!<\/p><\/div>\n

Jack and Milly’s volcano continued to erupt long after the children had gone home on Friday! Mrs Wright was afraid to leave it…thankfully it did stop!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today we had survival kits, drawings of stormy weather, power point presentations, letters, models, world maps and scientific demonstrations. Josh showed a home that could extend upwards in times of flooding, while Olivia’s design to beat flooding was a buoyant home, which we all watched rise as she demonstrated. Erin and Isla had detailed drawings of homes that could survive all eventualities! Harry came to school with two lemonade bottles joined at the neck and showed us a ‘tornado in a bottle’. All these homework projects have furthered our understanding of severe weather events and natural disasters around the world. It looks like we have tomorrows problem solvers right here in Applegrove!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
